Microbes in the Soil.

The value of the action of microbes in
the soil would not be questioned by any
one who had given the matter sufficient
thought. But to establish a conclusion
by means of experiment always COM
mends itself to the scientific mind. M.
Laurent has made series of compare
tive experiments in order to ascertain
the influence of the microbes on vege-
table life. Seeds of buckwheat were
sown in four different kinds of mould.
In the first flower-pot natural mould was
employed; in the second the same earth
sterilized and then inoculated with
bactera of the soil; in the third simply
sterilized mould; and in the fourth
sterilized mould with the addition of
chemical manure. Precautions were
taken to prevent contamination of tho
four receptacles. The production of
wheat in each of the pots respectively
was in the proportion of "a, 90, %, Sc.
In all the experiments the third series
was inferior to the others. The value
of microbes in soil rich in organic de-
tritus seems thereby to be proved

is THE MOON PEOPLEDq
French Astronomer Gives Reasons fol

N astronomer Gives Reasons for
Thinking That 1t Is.
Up to the present time we have re-
marked nothing on the moons face
which leads us to suspect the existence
of thinking humanity in that small
celestial island. Nevertheless those as
tronomers who specially observe om
satellite, and who study all its singular
aspects with attention and perseverance
are generally of the opinion that the
planet is not so dead as it looks. We
must not forget that in the present con-
dition of optics it is difficult practically
to apply to the study of the moon a
magnifier superior to two thousand
times. To see this world two thousand
times nearer than it is in the sky is only
to bring it within forty-eight leagues.
Now what can be clearly distinguished
at distance of one hundred and nine
ty-two kilometersP An army on the
marchP A great city? Perhaps; but
it is very doubtful. 1t is certain that
enigmatical variations are going on on
the surface of the moon, especially in
the arena of the circle of Plato. 1t is
also certain that the lunar globe, forty
one times smaller than the globe and
eighty-one times less heavy, exercises
upon its surface a weight only one-sixth
as great as that which exists on the
surface of our planet, in such way
that an atmosphere analogous to that
which we breathe would be six times
nearer and difficult to perceive from
here. There is. therefore, nothing sur
prising in the fact that this neighbor
would differ so greatly from ours. If
you look at the earth from balloon
which is four or five thousand feet high
our planet appears deserted, uninhab-
tied, silent as an immense cemetery,
and any one returning from the moon
in balloon might reasonably wonder,
even at that small height, whether there
were still people in France, and what
had become of the roar of Paris

years in rearing and caring for fine
poultry, or poultry for market and egg
producing purposes; and we must say
that our syslem of care and feeling has
resulted very favorably through an ex-
perience of some fifteen years.
First for a morning feed for, say
twenty-five fowls, we place kettle on
the stove containing one gallon of
water, or if there is any meat soup or
meat scraps left over, use these as far
as they will 60 Put in a tablespoonful
of salt, and occasionally like quantity
OF sulphur or red pepper, alternately.
The liquid must come to a brisk boil
ing point, and then pour it over enough
unbolted corn meal (yellow corn pre-
ferred) to make a thick and porous
mass-not sloppy-when well stirred
together. This should be fed them
smoking hot as soon in the mornings
as they come down from their perches
Care should be taken that they have
plenty of fresh water to dip from after
their breakfast. Then about noon give
them mixture of screenings and oats,
or wheat and oats, scattering well on
the ground or floor, SO as to give them
employment in gathering it up during
the afternoon. For their supper give
them wheat and cracked corn; the
latter coarsely cracked will be suitable
for fowls of almost any age. The diet,
supplemented, of course, with good
quarters, kept clean and well ventilated
will insure you a fine flock of sleek
looking fowls, and eggs in abundance
during the winter months. Access
should also be had by them to crushed
shells and bone, with occasionally a
few grains of sulphate of iron in their
drinking water.-Cor. Ohio Farmer.

THE VILLA PREGNY.
Baron Adolphe Rothschild's Lovely Retrea
on the Shores of Lake Geneva.

Baron Adolphe Rothschild's Lovely Retreat
on the Shores of Lake Geneva.
When Baron Adolphe, who married
his cousin of Vienna, had one of those
fits of mortal ennui which seem like the
hereditary curse of their opulence, he
suddenly conceived violent desire t.
possess Villa Pregny, small domain
situated on the loveliest hillside of the
slopes overlooking the Lake of Geneva
about two miles distant from the city.
and possessing every charm that nature
and Swiss scenery can confer. He
narrowly, eagerly disputed the price,
but finding the owner firm he consented
to give the sum required, for, as he re.
marked, 'Pregny has the one thing
which. with all my money, can moi
get, for can not grow trees six hun.
dred years old"
That was twenty years ago, and the
unpretending little villa was at once
swept away and a magnificent building
erected on the site where it stood. 1t
is square, something after the style OF
the old French chateaux, and its daz-
cling whiteness proclaims its recent
origin as much as the absence of all
antecedents or associations. The tour.
list and the traveller are rarely allowed
the privilege of visiting Pregny. TIL,
owners do not follow the example OF
the grande seigneurs of England, Italy
and France, who, when they are the
possessors of historical houses filled
with treasures of art, consider them.
selves only as landlords, and deem il
duty to admit the stranger to view
their heritage.
The entrance to the principal court
is by splendid wrought-iron gates; the
gardens are so marvelously laid out
that on comparatively restricted ex-
panse the roads and paths seem tc
stretch and wind for miles. The
grounds are profusely stocked with
rare shrubs and flowers, Conservatives
blazing with exotics, winter gardens
containing gigantic tropical trees, avia.

plumage. A riding school like the one

HOW NOT TO BE SICK.

To fight disease away, and keep it out,
is, in nutshell, the solution of the whole
mystery. To this end activity, vitality
and health go together. When malaria
and consumption make their attacks the
system has been enfeebled and is therefore
ready to be damaged by them. The weak
ened system needs vitalizer. Such help
to health is found in Compound Oxygen, a
remedy which has achieved it's most con-
spicuous triumphs in building up the fee.
BILE, restoring the Frustrated, and driving
out deep-seated chronic maladies which
had threatened the destruction of their
victims. The way in which Compound
Oxygen does its work is plain and simple.
There are no drugs to swallow; no annoy.
inc experiences to be endured; but through
it the circulation, the digestive organs and
the whole system receive new life, and
thus acquire power to throw off disea e
and to resist new attacks. To follow up
this interesting subject procure from Drs.

Why Farmers Should Avoid Keeping Poor

There are too many horses kept on

many in numbers. tn 8 being rendered

horses to do the work that might be
done by four, is very poor economy, to
say the least. Thus, horse Il. at lacks

one whose weight enables him to do
the specific work with great ease
This would come of the better formed
horse having. not only the proper bone

corresponding vigor in his digestive and
assimilative powers. Then. again, two

The breeding of horses fit for fast

tionaely the breeding of draft horses

of the other. This is shown by the
fact that not more than one well bred
